9.5 month old EW
« on: March 15, 2011, 09:28:07 am »
Just wondered if anyone could advise on our situation. My DD has begun to wake early, was 6 am (occasionally 6.30) but she has started waking at 5.30-5.45 recently and is very awake. I think the problem is her am nap is too early now she's older and possibly i need to reduce daytime naps and continue to push bedtime back. Typical day

Wakes 5.45
E bottle 6.30 7oz (try to push waking back!) Solids an hour- 1.5 hours later
S 8.15-9.45
A 9.45
E snack 10.30 then lunch 11.30/12
S 12.30/1.00- 2.00-2.30
A 2.00/2.30
E bottle 2.30/3.00 7oz then dinner at 4.30/4.45
S bedtime bottle 7oz at 6.30pm, usually asleep by 6.45

I have recently pushed the bedtime bottle back to 6.30 as it was creeping forward to 6.20 and she'd be asleep by 6.30. She doesn't wake in the night, just wakes early so not a major problem but would you say that to encourage a later wake up time i should put the morning nap back and increase the bedtime bottle time by ten minutes later now she's got used to it at 6.30?
Thanks for any suggestions. Should also mention she is very active climbing up to stand all day and is spirited  :)

I think you're right about the first nap, I would push it back to 9.15 and see if that helps.

I think i will give it a go tomorrow, she will be very tired by then but hopefully will have an ok sleep.

Just realised where i posted, was going to put it in sleep issues, oops, thanks for replying!
